Bakar releases new single “Searching”
British musician Bakar recently released his latest single, “Searching,” setting the stage for his upcoming album titled “Forever & Ever,” scheduled for release later this year. This release marks his first studio project since his last album, Halo, was dropped over a year ago.
In the past year, Bakar has treated fans to previews of his new music with covers and singles like his rendition of Edwyn Collins’ 1994 track, “A Girl Like You,” expected to be featured on “Forever & Ever.” Additionally, songs like “React” and “Everytime,” featuring Lancey Foux, have been unveiled, building anticipation among listeners for what’s to come in the upcoming album.
Looking back at the creation of his previous album, Halo, Bakar shared insight into the vision behind the project. He expressed a desire to return to his indie rock roots, explaining, “For ‘Halo’, we wanted to go back to our true indie rock roots and just try to make the best versions of those songs that we can and have fun while we’re doing it.” The album was crafted in New York at Electric Lady studios with a focus on live instrumentation – drums, guitar, and vocals. Bakar described the process as refreshing, especially given the context of the year 2023.
